group exam

For my first exam in Intro to Computers in Ed. We were split into groups to work on and complete our exam. We were given institution's to imagine we were teachers of a fifth grade class. We were given 10 thousand dollars to use on technology for the activity that would be age appropriate to the students. We had to go to the library and speak to the librarian about how to locate article. We had to have a paper signed to prove we were there. I found an article that best related to the activity we were doing. We came to the conclusion to do a project based on social studies that incorporated blogging. I also had to go to the writing center to get help revising my paper.

I learned how to better work in groups when doing the exam. We had to take all of our ideas into one. I also had the opportunity to use technology to communicate with the other group members. It was hard to agree on the approach we were going to take as well as to get everyone together to work on it. We had a chat on the internet as a group to discus the project. We came to the conclusion that anyone that needed extra help went to the library. I learned that it was affective to use technology in certain ways in the classroom and sawthe different uses it has in society today.
